Chandra Grahan Notes for 2024: Today, the second lunar eclipse of the year is taking place. Coincidentally, the first Pitru Paksha Shraddha is also taking place today. According to India time, the lunar eclipse will last from 06.12 am to 10.17 am on September 18 (today). The duration of the lunar eclipse is 05 hours and 04 minutes. During this period, the lunar eclipse will reach its peak at 08.14 am. In astrology, the period of solar eclipse is considered to be very inauspicious. It is said that the work done during the solar eclipse is not successful. Therefore, auspicious activities are prohibited. Let us know which activities are prohibited during the lunar eclipse.
1. Foods and Drinks to Avoid: In astrology, it is recommended not to cook or eat food during a lunar eclipse. Instead, basil leaves should be added to cooked food even before the Sutak period begins. This way, the bad omen of the eclipse does not affect your diet.
2. Basil Leaves: Goddess Lakshmi herself resides in the tulsa plant. So if you are using its leaves to protect your food from the effects of solar eclipse, then a few things must be kept in mind. Basil leaves should not be picked at all during the solar eclipse. Basil leaves should be picked before the Sutak period and preserved.
3. The beginning of a new work: Astrologers also say that you should not start any new work during the inauspicious period of lunar eclipse. If you want to start any new work or housewarming or any other auspicious work, then do it only after the eclipse period.
4. Pregnant women: Pregnant women are advised to take special precautions during the lunar eclipse, such as staying at home or covering their bodies with clothes. In addition, pregnant women should not use sharp or pointed tools.
5. Fear of negative energy: Some people believe that the spread of negative energy increases during a lunar eclipse. Therefore, the infirm and the elderly should be especially careful. During this period, people should also avoid going to crematoriums or desolate places.
